No two leathers have exactly the same appearance, even if they are the same type of leather.

Fine grain.

A big running tiger.

A faint trace of blood.

And the small scars I got when I was alive.

Each piece of natural leather has a different look.

When making leather products, they are sometimes treated as ``parts to be avoided.''

But Has sees leather in a slightly different way.

This is not a defect, but a proof that the leather has survived.

At Has, we consider the unique expressions of natural leather, such as grains, tiger lines, blood lines, and scars, to be the ``traces of life'' and value them as ``individual beauty'' that is unique to each piece.

Leather is not originally a uniform industrial product.

There is a time when animals were alive, and there is skin that covered their bodies.

Therefore, there are differences in facial expressions even within a single photo.

Some areas are smooth, while others have strong wrinkles.

There may be scars or blood lines visible.

Has doesn't try to erase them all and approximate a homogeneous material.

Rather, we look at the differences.

While looking at each piece of leather,

Which part should I use?

Which direction should you cut?

What shape would make this leather look beautiful?

While facing the material, we search for a shape that is suitable for the leather.

That's why Has products retain the expression of the leather itself.

This is also connected to the idea of ``I don't dare to show it.'' that I introduced earlier.

Because the decorations, metal fittings, and stitching are not overstated, what catches your eye is the leather itself.

Grain shading.

A line drawn by a tiger.

A slight fluctuation in color.

The texture when you touch it.

And the luster that develops with continued use.

Beauty does not have everything in place from the beginning, but rather beauty that changes over time.

Has primarily uses vachetta leather, which is made in Italy using traditional methods.

The leather is tanned over time using plant-derived tannins and impregnated with oil, and the more it is used, the more its color deepens.

The uniqueness of the leather that was visible when it was new will change to become even more unique to that person as it is touched by the user's hands and over time.

Do not erase the uniqueness of the leather.

This does not simply mean preserving the characteristics of natural leather.

Accepting what a piece of leather has, finding its charm, and making the most of it.

It is beautiful because it is not uniform.

Has's manufacturing process begins by confronting materials that are unique.
